We launched the Accelerated Reader programme in the school earlier this year. The pupils have been reading books and taking quizzes since. Some of our them have done exceptionally well in a short time. Congratulations to our two wonderful pupils below who have read their way into the Millionaire's Club. This is a club exclusively for pupils who have read over a million words. What an amazing achievement girls, you are fantastic role models and we are so proud of you!

On Tuesday we said a very fond farewell to two very popular boys in the school and their families. Charlie and Conor, it has been a pleasure having you in the school for the past eight years. We have watched with pride as you have grown and matured during your time with us. Thank you for your contribution to our school in that time and we look forward to hearing about your achievements in the years ahead.

The Junior Tour this year was to Kool Kids in Cavan. Unfortunately, the ongoing industrial action by the firefighters meant we were unable to visit the Fire Station but hopefully we might get to do it in the new school year instead. As you can see from the pictures the children made the most of the day out and enjoyed having lots of fun with their friends.

What a FANTASTIC FRIDAY we had at our annual SPORTS DAY.

We began the day with our daily Walk With A Smile. It was wonderful to see so many parents join us.
Next up we had the whole school completing stations. These were set up by the ASC. They included a mixture of skills and games-basketball, soccer, racket ball, hockey and of course our fancy dress 'Day at the Beach' relay to name a few.
The infants completed similar activities over on the lawn.
These were followed by a whole school DANCE PARTY in the sun. It wasn't long before the children were doing the conga around the playground!.
Next up we had refreshments in the form of JELLY & ICE-CREAM to cool us down.
After lunch we had great fun during our Sports Day Quiz. Well done to the Drumlane team who topped the leader board.

Well done to all the children for participating in today's sports day. There was a wonderful atmosphere and energy in the school. The children set the tone with their kindness, enthusiasm and friendship. 😊

Wednesday's Skipathon

8/6/2023

0 Comments

Today all of the children took part in a skipathon. They competed against the rest of the children in their classroom to get as many skips in 30 seconds (junior room) and 1 minute (rest of the school) as they could. Skipping is an excellent way for children to increase their physical activity and improve their health. It can be a tricky skill to master but the children did fantastically and gave it their all with lots of giggles along the way! 🤩

What a lovely way to start each morning this active school week. All of the children, staff and some parents met in our outdoor courts to walk with a smile for 10 minutes this morning. The sunshine and music really boosted our mood 😊
